Hi UD...I hope you are having a good day.

I am just recovering from a nasty Trogan infection that caused me to wipe the HD & start over again. 
I'm just putting things back & am at the UQMG install point & thought I'd  ask if you were about to the
point of any upgrades or changes to your fantastic UQMG before I continue...


AHHH Poof..dang me...I re-read your install instructions & ...new ur new creations can install over your basic & beta 17 install...
so I'm up and running again & will just install anything new when the time comes...ha ha ...


S!

Whew... so everyone, since June I have been in the middle of moving mode.  Got a new job which included a full move so family and I have been pretty busy getting re-settled.  And that is the reason for the general silence for the last few weeks or months, I am not sure.  When I get settled again I'll start tackling UQMG and all things IL-2 related.

Best Regards.

Family first
Job second (so hard to find a decent one nowadays)
Il 2 when you have the time and feeling for it
That's the normal order of things

Take your time to settle down in your new home and job (got through 5 of these)
Your dedicated fans will understand and wait: IL2 lovers are really a patient bunch (2 more weeks..... )

Best wishes for your new start

Yeah UberDemon - Good luck with the move. Just a question - is there a possibility of having UQMG reading the files it needs like (aircraft, maps & weapons) directly from IL-2 instead of having to update it manually? I think this is the biggest issue with other mission/campaign generators like DCG too.

JG7_X_Man,

I know it has been a while since you asked the question, but here is the answer:  Today, no UQMG can't.  When I wrote UQMG first, it was for stock IL-2.  It eventually updated with FB, AEP, etc... up to 1946, but all stock, so that was before we had the insight into the IL-2 java files.  It would take an enormous amount of work to change the 47K or so lines of code in UQMG to do that.

I started writing a newer version a while back in VS 2010, but have not worked on it for a while.  It actually read the files from the game instead of custom built scripts.

Biggest problem with any application like this is that MOD developers don't always add the text files with weapon codes... sometimes they are just in the Java files, so it would be impossible to get them unless you wrote a Java addon that read the weapon codes from the embedded java classes in the code and produced a text file that could be written... it would be possible but probably a lot of work.  I think only PAL would be able to do that...

In the future when I retire I hope to dedicate a lot more time to this.

So UD, please retire now, or at least in two weeks!

If I could, I would... I even considered paying out of pocket for a conversion of VB6 to VB.net, but the MS-endorsed company only gives up to 20K lines of code free, so basically my application is too big... something like $1000 to $12,000 American dollars for an incomplete conversion... so I am like, not F-ing way!  This is just a hobby I get no money out of it.

I am not giving up though...  I'll figure out a way to make this work.

Hey man, jokes on me. My Grandfathr told me the allmighty didn´t create hurry, only a sedate pace of life, so take your time!
